A DDS DX10 file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format whose DX10 extension header selects a DirectX 10 or newer texture format. It stores the texture data in one of Microsoft's DXGI formats — block-compressed GPU textures (BC1–BC7), high-dynamic-range BC6H data or uncompressed formats — and is mostly used for textures, normal maps and cube maps in modern games. Legacy DDS readers often fail on these files.
The sk2 file type is a vector graphic format created by the sK1 open source vector graphics editor. It is an extension of the sk1 format and is used to store vector graphics and images. The sk2 file format supports layers, masking, transparency, and other advanced features.
